Also, <I>In Bruges</I> was a fine movie. <BR/><BR/>And, yes, I think that <I>CKE</I> is about style while <I>Michael Clayton</I> is clearly made by people who have spent their lives figuring out how to make movies and how people watch them. It's designed for the adjective 'slick' (in the best meaning of the word).Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430068317991316806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17545571.post-69956774408174750742009-01-30T23:34:00.000-05:002009-01-30T23:34:00.000-05:00Hey Jackie- yeah, its from back in the '90s.

Of course, if I restricted myself to movies from the last year only, it would be a shorter list.<BR/><BR/>And I mostly agree with you that CKE and Michael Clayton are pretty superficial, although with CKE I wonder if superficiality was maybe the point? Like, hey let's make a really pretty, glitzy, hyper-visual movie that doesn't have a much of a plot?<BR/><BR/>As for Michael Clayton, it's pretty standard plot-wise, but for some reason I really enjoyed it when I watched it - particularly the ending. That's some good righteous comeuppance.<BR/><BR/>Any others you liked this last year?thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749674951075102239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17545571.post-27005630828838787252009-01-30T07:17:00.000-05:002009-01-30T07:17:00.000-05:00Chungking Express?

I've seen 3 of the 8 movies you list (<I>The Simpsons</I>, <I>No Country for Old Men</I>, and <I>Michael Clayton</I>). Not bad for me. Thinking over it, <I>Michael Clayton</I> is kind of like <I>Chungking Express</I> for me. There are moments that are so enjoyable (for different reasons) that it's easy to not care that the movie is in some way essentially superficial.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14430068317991316806noreply@blogger.com
